Dual Sports Fall Like Dominos: Riding the Honda CRF300L Rally Off Road at Giant Loop Ride 2023

The best part of the annual Giant Loop ride is all the amazing dual sport riding that is nearby. This year, I set out on my Honda CRF300L Rally to take on the King Mountain Loop, a multi-surface ADV ride with a stop at the super cool Pine Mountain Lookout before descending through some forest roads and sandy two track to the town of Burns, Oregon. Along for the ride was ‪@ExploreAdventureMoto‬ on his Honda Africa Twin, ‪@itskevinadv‬ on his KTM 500 EXC-F, and Larry (also on a 500 EXC-F). We had a blast navigating our ADV motorcycles up into the high country and back down to the southeastern Oregon desert before heading back to camp at the 2023 Giant Loop Ride. Dual sport riding on the Honda CRF300L is never boring, and this ride was a blast, despite multiple drops and Larry knocking me over while gracefully dismounting his bike.
